Acts 24:10-23

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁰ And Paul answered, when the president granted [to] him to say, Of many years I know thee, that thou art doomsman to this folk, and I shall do enough for me with good reason.

¹¹ For thou mayest know, for to me be not more than twelve days [for to me be no more than twelve days], since I came up [for] to worship in Jerusalem;

¹² and neither in the temple they found me disputing with any man, neither making concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, neither in city;

¹³ neither they be able to prove to thee, of the which things they now accuse me. [neither they may prove to thee, of which things they now accuse me.]

¹⁴ But I acknowledge to thee this thing, that after the sect which they say heresy, so I serve to God the Father, believing to all things that be written in the law and prophets;

¹⁵ and I have hope in God, which also they themselves abide, the again-rising to coming of just men and wicked.^[a]

¹⁶ In this thing [and] I study without hurting, to have conscience to God, and to men evermore.

¹⁷ But after many years, I came to do almsdeeds to my folk, and offerings, and avows [and offerings, and vows];

¹⁸ in which they found me purified in the temple, not with company, neither with noise. And they caught me, and they cried, and said [And they caught me, crying, and saying], Take away our enemy. And some Jews of Asia,

¹⁹ which it behooved to be now present at thee [whom it behooved to be now present at thee], and accuse, if they had any thing against me,

²⁰ either these themselves say [or these themselves say], if they found in me any thing of wickedness, since I stand in the council,

²¹ but only of this [one] voice, by which I cried standing among them, For of the again-rising of dead men I am deemed this day of you [For of the again-rising of dead I am deemed this day of you].

²² Soothly Felix delayed them, and knew most certainly of the way [Soothly Felix deferred them, most certainly he knowing of the way], and said, When Lysias, the tribune, shall come down, I shall hear you.

²³ And he commanded to a centurion to keep him, and that he had rest^[b], neither to forbid any man to minister of his own things to him.
